• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Lac Gazeau at 7.4 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Olga for certain.
